I'm prob going to murder my dog
No joke.
Josie, my 13 year old cattledog, tends to pick fights with my bulldog, Trudie. For some reason Jos will pin Trudie down and lick her face, which makes Trudie growl. At some point in the process Trudie gets fed up and snaps, which prompts Jos to lose her mind and attack.
This has happened numerous times, the last being the day I gave birth. My brother came over to find Trudie had busted out of her crate and the girls got in a fight . . . blood all over and Trudies face was a mess.
We've been working diligently with a trainer and using Prozac for Jos, but it just hasn't made much of a difference. The last few days she has been following Trudie around obsessively trying to lick her face . . . and just a bit ago she succeeded. I wasn't paying attention because I was switching the laundry over and all of the sudden it was WWIII in the living room. Trudie has a 1 1/2 inch laceration on her left cheek now, the tip of her left ear won't stop bleeding, and her left eye is swelling from the 3 bite wounds above and below her eyeball. To make things worse, Bebe was just a few feet away while this was happening. It was not easy wrestling with two fighting dogs, cleaning up blood, and calming a little girl. Ugh.
I'm super duper pissed right now at Josie . . . R is ready to put her down because of her behavior . . . but I'm not going to make any decisions while I am angry. Until R gets home she is just going to have to live behind a baby gate in the hallway so I can keep my dogs separated.
I hate this crap.
Re: I'm prob going to murder my dog
Bad bad Josie. I can't imagine dealing with all of that or making that sort of decision. I'm glad that Bebe wasn't hurt during the ordeal and that you guys are able to come to some kind of happy solution for everyone involved.
Ditto. I can only imagine how frustrating and out of control it feels to have this happen.
I hope-for everyone's safety-that you can figure out a solution very soon! I can't imagine how scary and how hard this could be!
